Born November 5th, 1944 in Tremonton, Utah to Martin and Hazel Grover Riser, Lynn was the youngest of 3 sons. He grew up in East Garland, Utah and graduated from Bear River High School.

An accomplished welder and pipefitter, Lynn worked on projects from the St. Louis Arch to the Alaskan Pipeline and produced many creative masterpieces in between, including the Bridger Power Plant boiler and many miles of pipe in Wyoming, numerous welding trucks, pulling trucks and hot rods. He was a member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union for 41 years. Lynn built a successful business, Riser’s Welding, designed his home, designed and built several workshops and a log cabin. He loved to build things and had an admirable and strong work ethic. Lynn had the rare courage to live his life fully and on his terms. He loved and supported his family and was loved by them in return. He will be sorely missed.
